Functional Medicine Specialist Jenni Berman joins me on this podcast where we discuss:
- Leaky gut and intestinal permeability
- The intestinal mucosa/bacteria penetration
- Antibody and cytokine responses leading to autoimmune disease
- The influence of cortisol on the intestinal mucosa,
- Food intolerances vs. allergies (IgG vs. IgE)
Jenni discusses testing recommendations for individuals with autoimmune diseases/IBD from a functional medicine perspective. She tells us the recommended lab tests they are looking for, food intolerance and allergy tests, as well as blood serum and skin tests.
She also tells us her own health story, as well as some interesting improvements for clients.
Finally, we discuss her long-term treatment plan for IBD patients: reintroduction of food with a gut healing protocol. And Jenni outlines her favorite long-term versus short-term supplements for gut healing.
There is SO much good information in this lesson! Watch the video of our discussion. If you prefer to listen to it as a podcast, scroll down or access your favorite podcast platform.
